What's this?

My conclusion is different


1. It's still important for me to change my actions for the benefits of those above 80.

2. We don't know the long term consequences of contracting the virus as a young person and not dying. Is there going to be pulmonary fibrosis?

3. Some young people in China have died from the virus. People in the 30s and 40s. I don't want to be one of them.

4. I don't want to be someone in a car accident who presents to a hospital whos ICU beds are full of Covid patients. I might suffer as a result. Again, it's my responsibility to self-isolate and not spread the virus further.
